The waiting list is huge to get into a nursing home for the seniors in this city. What we don’t need is a $2 billion inaccessible boondoggle hospital out past the airport. We need more nursing homes.

We need to follow the trend of the aging population. If we had proper care for the elderly, it relieves the strain on paramedics, emergency rooms and hospitals.

The proposed new mega-hospital will not change our medical capacity.
